Age and heating issues.. Please help!

Actually it's not a ceramic heater, it's a ceramic heat emitter. It doesn't go in the tank so less chance of burning the frog. It looks like a lightbulb and screws into a heat lamp. It works like a heat light too, but doesn't burn out so quickly. Edit: I'd suggest getting a heat lamp and suspending it, that way you can keep it on a timer if you want. Ideally it should have a dimmer, but I've had trouble finding lamps with dimmers rated over 75watts. I've been raising and lowering the lamp on its stand to control the heat.

I use a ZooMed double deep mini dome with two 60 watt red bulbs in it, it hangs suspended from an adjustable lamp stand and I do the same thing as Elly, raising and lowering it to get the right amt of heat

Yayyy!!! I found sonething thats working awesome!

I heat him up in the morning with the room heater for quicker temperature raise. Then i shut off the heater, turn on his lights, close the curtain and keep the bathroom door closed! Keeping the temp where it should be at! If that fails at some pojnt, i will get the emitter with the proper set up to have a thermostat and a shut off

Thank you guys for all your help!
